Re: Replay Gain: A how to informational

Well, I believe I have got something. It appears that if mp3 has v1+v2 tags (doesn't matter if it is 2.3 or 2.4) then replaygain is not seen by the fuze. But, if the v1 tag is removed (say, in mp3tag), then replaygain is magically here.

So, may be fuze can see replaygain in mp3 if there is _only_ a v2 tag?

Re: Replay Gain: A how to informational

Hmm - it could be something like that. Although, for the few MP3 files of mine that the Fuze does recognise RG tags, they do have v1 tags too.

I'm rather disappointed with this RG implementation. This was supposed to be the "big reason to not use rockbox" - and yet it has been very sloppily implemented. Judging by the fact that Sansa have recommended specific software for applying RG to the MP3s, it seems that they haven't tested compatability with a range of applications.

The fact is, I've been using RG now for over 4 years. My MP3s work fine with Rockbox, Winamp, Foobar, XBMC, MP3Tag, and any other program I've used over the years with RG support - but not the Fuze. I'm not going to change my 60GB plus of personally encoded MP3s.....

Re: Replay Gain: A how to informational

Foobar's replaygain ignored or the genre and/or other tags are seen as a garbage (depending on foobar preferences). You cannot get both tags and replaygian working

Yes, it could. But MM and replaygain do see each other replaygain data. And I notice that id3v2-2.3 without id3v1 in foobar works not 100%, but sometime fails. And even more - sometimes MM doesn't work either (for example, if tags are edited with mp3tag afterwards).

Re: Replay Gain: A how to informational

I use MP3Tag for tagging (kicks Foobar's butt royally in that department). I use Foobar for Replaygain only - not tagging. MP3Tag is configured as follows:

ID3 V1 support - ON

ID3Tag 2.3 support - ON (UTF-16)

Read:

ID3V1

ID3V2

APE Tags

Read:

ID3V1

Delete:

ID3V1

ID3V2

APE Tags

It's all good.

If I download MP3s, I remoe all tags using MP3Tag and re-tag them. I get all tag fields recognized and ReplayGain tags also seen. I don't like Media Monkey because I see no reason to load yet another piece of software on my system for no good reason.
